Research Seminar
The research seminar is a series of lectures by and for master students who are writing their final thesis at the Chair of Public Economics. Participation in the research seminar is concurrent with the writing of the master's thesis. The research seminar primarily takes place during the lecture period.
To achieve the 10 credits, regular participation in the seminar and at least two presentations are mandatory.
Syllabus:

Scheduling of presentation dates and announcement
Dates for the presentations will be coordinated via the OPAL for the course. We ask the students to first coordinate with their supervisor and then to announce the agreed date in the forum.
